InIn this free virtual workshop, Lynn Davidson will help you see the importance and pleasure of developing surprise in your poetry

How Do Poets Come Up with Images That Surprise?

She will introduce you to some exercises you can use to help you find the strange and apt image, an endeavour that can often takes a sideways route, inviting chance and accident. You will have the opportunity to workshop some of your ideas.

This workshop is for writers who are keen to take their poetry forward but could use some advice and inspiration to do so. We’re also keen to help people who feel their writing has stalled to get things moving again.
